The Jacksonville Jaguars are signing Seattle Seahawks restricted free-agent wide receiver Jake Bobo to an offer sheet, according to a report from ESPN’s Field Yates on Friday afternoon.
The Seahawks now have five days to decide whether to match the offer. If they don’t, they would lose Bobo and wouldn’t receive any draft pick compensation.

According to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, Bobo’s offer sheet with the Jaguars is for two years and $5.5 million. It carries a maximum value of $7 million, with $4.5 million fully guaranteed.
The Seahawks placed a right-of-first-refusal tender on Bobo on March 11, with the announcement coming just minutes prior to the official start of the NFL’s new league year. That tender would give Bobo a one-year, $3.52 million deal if he makes Seattle’s 53-man roster, according to OverTheCap.
As an undrafted rookie out of UCLA, the 6-foot-4 Bobo was an underdog story who made the Seahawks’ roster out of training camp in 2023 and caught a touchdown pass in his third NFL game. He served as the team’s fourth wide receiver in both 2023 and 2024, totaling 303 receiving yards and three touchdown catches over that span, while also contributing as a special teams mainstay.
This past season, the 27-year-old Bobo saw his playing time decrease. He had just two catches for 20 yards during the regular season, while logging just 117 offensive snaps in 11 games. He missed three games due to injuries and was a healthy scratch for another three games.
However, Bobo came up big during the Seahawks’ Super Bowl run, hauling in a 17-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter of Seattle’s 31-27 NFC Championship game win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Bobo’s most productive season was in 2023, when he had 19 catches for 196 yards and two TDs. That came under then-Seahawks offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, who is now the Jaguars’ pass game coordinator.
Seattle re-signed speedy wide receiver/return special Rashid Shaheed to a three-year, $51 million deal earlier this month. That gives the Seahawks a seemingly clear-cut top four wideouts in reigning NFL receiving leader Jaxon Smith-Njigba, veteran Cooper Kupp, Shaheed and 2025 fifth-round draft pick Tory Horton.
